5 Underrated Summer Things

When the Summer rolls around, everyone wonders what they should do with their time. Some choose to work everyday, others choose to live their summer up to it's fullest extent, and others just go with the flow. If you're ever in a situation where you don't know what to do with your time, here's a couple of cool ideas.

1. Sit outside

More time out of the year than not is spent inside. When the colder months roll around, you can't wait until summer so you can spend time not cooped up inside, however we usually forget that when Spring/Summer roll around.

Take a walk, a jog, just sit on your porch, take some time out of your day to just take a breather and enjoy the outdoors.

2. Hit up the beach

If you're anything like me, you've been doing this even when it was snowing outside (perks of being a Long Islander). However, now you can go and actually leave your car and catch some rays, work on that tan and all.

Even if you don't like the ocean I believe you should go to the beach anyway. Why? Beach= great summer vibes.

3. Go on an adventure

During the summer, you have the freedom to do as you please. Go on an adventure, try something new. You don't have to plan everything you do three weeks ahead of time. Sometimes it's good to just go wherever the wind may take you.

4. Find the "pretty" spots

This is not limited to just places. Finding the "pretty" spots is to find the insta worthy spots. Sunsets, cool foods, fun times, all that good stuff.

5. Take time to breathe

We often forget throughout the year to take a step back and relax. If you're in school, exams and other school-like drama often eat away at you and stress you out more than you'd like to admit. If you're working full time in the summer yes that too is stressful, but take a breather from constantly being tested on your knowledge of material while you can.

People forget that the summer doesn't have to be about the big things, or the little things, it can be about anything. That's the beauty of summer, you don't have to have a set plan.

Take a step back, and enjoy everyth9ng.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
